The best fitness trampolines of 2025 for home exercise, tried and tested on the bounce
Fitness trampolines (or rebounders, as they’re also known) are designed for at-home workouts that burn calories and put a smile on your face. The indoor exercise trampolines have grown in popularity over the last few years, because, just like the best exercise bikes you can work out in the comfort of your own home, normally without a subscription.
The benefits of fitness trampolines range from improved heart health to better balance, according to Diana Van Heerden, head of fitness at London’s Frame workout studios, which hosts regular Rebounding classes. “The best fitness trampolines provide really effective cardiovascular exercise and strengthen your lower body muscles at the same time,” she says. “A trampoline also forces you to engage your core, helping improve your balance and coordination, while strengthening your pelvic floor muscles as an added bonus.”
We’ve put the best fitness trampoline for adults to the test, but if you’re in a hurry, here’s a quick look at the top five:

How to choose the best fitness trampoline
There are a few key things to keep in mind when deciding which fitness trampoline to buy, especially since models can differ greatly in performance and practicality.
“A good quality rebounder will have a mat that’s thick, but not so tight that you can’t jump on it,” explains Van Heerden, saying that the tension and material of the mat directly affect comfort and shock absorption.
Personal trainer Kunal Makwana, founder of KMAK Fitness, adds that they “vary in size, shape, spring quality and design features such as stability bars. High-quality trampolines also typically have durable materials and superior springs or bungee cords, offering better bounce and longevity.” These differences can influence how stable you feel during workouts and how long the equipment lasts after frequent use.
Van Heerden also recommends checking the size of your room or designated workout area before ordering, as some models occupy more floor space than expected. Fortunately, many of the best rebounders designed for home fitness are foldable, making them much easier to store between sessions.
